Chapter 10 I have high standards (1/2)

Staring in front of a restaurant she has never been before -- Lexi's brows arc in dubiousness. She expected Ethan to take her somewhere fancy, alas, the restaurant they were in -- it was very simple and can be considered gauche.

”Here? Seriously?” Knowing Lexi's attitude, she won't hesitate to show her displeasure about the place. After all, she was raised surrounded with luxury -- whether it was clothes, accessories, and even the dishes she eats should be prepared by top chefs -- a true living the dream. Hence, it was understandable for her to react in such a way.

”Yea. Didn't you say you like good food?” Ethan stated with a wide grin on his lips showing his small even teeth. He added, ”Let's go.”

-----

Lexi scrutinizes the whole small restaurant with cautious -- afraid that someone might recognize her. Though she kept her proud and elegant front, alas, she was obviously bewildered by the environment around the whole premises. It was small yet it didn't feel too crowded despite that there is only sufficient seat for her and Ethan.

”Come on, take a seat. Don't worry no one will recognize you and the food is superb.” Ethan reassured guessing her main concern. After all, Lexi is a well-known personality and even if he takes her to a fancy restaurant, she will be recognized with socialites -- which Ethan doesn't want to happen.

Lexi slightly raised her brows then wordlessly take a seat in front of Ethan Lu. He then raised his hand then shouted a familiar noodle dish as if Ethan was a regular and was much carefree than ever.

”Mr. Lu, I didn't know you like this kind of places.”

”We do, including Morris.” Ethan honestly responded with a grin.

Just hearing Morris name can put Lexi off, yet, for some reason, she just kept her silence as she stared down mindlessly on the glass of water laid on the table. Part of her was tired and actually fed up. She already did everything to show her love for Morris but, he never sees nor appreciate it -- god knows if he even considers her even just a tiny bit.

Hence, even though Ethan was obviously being insensitive, but to Lexi, she might probably thank him in the future because the more she realized that Morris will never love her, the soonest she'll let him go.
